Words that rhyme with Mustache
Mustache belongs to the two-syllable group; its vowel is a low-front /æ/, and it lands on an affricate. The lyric tradition treats it as a word the chorus uses to reach. It's a forward-leaning, hungry word. The headline counts: the strict column is unhelpful here, family rhymes come up empty, and the assonance well runs into four figures. The lyric headline: it works as a desire-anchor. Reach for assonance first; the strict list is the safety net underneath it.

Why mustache rhymes the way it does
Mustache sits on the front-and-flat /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and ends on an affricate snap. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 54, assonance 5,049, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Mustache pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
